COMMERCIAL  FEEDING  STUFFS. 


THE  LAW  REGULATING  THEIR  SALE. 

Section  4591  of  the  general  statutes  of  Connecticut  so  defines 
the  term  "concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuff"  that  it  covers 
practically  all  feeds  excepting  the  following: — hay  and  straw, 
whole  seeds,  unmixed  meal  made  directly  from  any  one  of  the 
cereals  or  from  buckwheat,  and  feed  ground  from  whole  grain 
and  sold  directly  from  manufacturer  to  consumer. 

Section  4592  requires  that  every  package  of  concentrated  com- 
mercial feeding  stuff  shall  bear  a  statement  giving  the  name 
and  address  of  manufacturer  or  importer,  the  number  of  net 
pounds  in  the  package,  the  name  of  the  article  and  the  per- 
centages of  protein  and  fat  contained  in  it. 

Section  4593  requires  every  manufacturer,  importer,  agent  or 
seller  to  file  with  this  Station,  upon  request,  a  certified  copy  of 
the  statement  above  described. 

The  penalty  prescribed  for  violation  of  the  foregoing  sections 
is  not  more  than  $100  for  the  first  offense  and  not  more  than 
$200  for  each  subsequent  offense. 

Section  4595  authorizes  this  Station  to  take  samples  from 
any  manufacturer,  importer,  agent  or  dealer  in  a  prescribed 
fashion  and  requires  this  Station  to  analyze,  annually,  at  least 
one  sample  of  each  brand  which  it  has  collected  and  to  publish 
these  analyses  in  station  bulletins,  "together  with  such  additional 
information  in  relation  to  the  character,  composition  and  use 
thereof  as  may  be  of  importance." 

The  Dairy  Commissioner  is  charged  with  the  enforcement  of 
the  provisions  of  these  sections  of  the  statutes. 

In  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  this  law  the  following 
report  on  feeding  stuffs  has  been  prepared. 


4  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I45. 

SAMPLING    OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDING    STUFFS. 

During  the  fall  of  1903,  Mr.  V.  L.  Churchill,  the  sampling 
agent  of  this  Station,  visited  forty-eight  towns  and  villages  of 
this  state  and  took  three  hundred  and  four  samples  of  feeds 
in  the  way  prescribed  by  law.  These  samples  have  been  exam- 
ined chemically  and  microscopically  and  the  results  appear  in 
the  following  pages  with  appropriate  discussion. 

There  are  also  given  twenty-four  analyses  of  feeds  which 
were  sent  to  the  Station  for  analysis  by  individuals. 

To  make  it  easier  to  understand  these  analyses  and  their 
discussion,  the  following  explanations  are  prepared : — 


EXPLANATIONS   OF  ANALYSES   OF  FEEDING 
STUFFS. 

An  analysis  gives  the  percentage  amounts  of  Water,  Ash, 
Protein,  Fiber,  Nitrogen-free  Extract,  and  Fat. 

Percentage  Amount  is  the  amount  in  100.  If  the  protein  in 
a  feed  is  17.5  per  cent.,  every  100  pounds  of  that  feed  contains 
17.5  pounds  of  protein ;  and  since  a  ton  is  twenty  hundred 
pounds,  a  ton  of  the  feed  will  contain  twenty  times  17.5,  or 
350  pounds  of  protein. 

Water.  However  dry  a  feeding  stuff  may  appear  to  be,  it 
always  contains  a  considerable  and  variable  quantity  of  water 
which  cannot  be  seen  or  felt,  but  which  can  be  driven  out  by 
heat.  The  amount  of  water  thus  present  in  feeding  stuffs  is 
constantly  changing  with  the  temperature  and  dryness  of  the 
air  about  them,  and  accordingly  no  very  close  comparison  of 
different  feeds  is  possible  unless  the  proportions  of  water  they 
contain  are  known  and  comparison  is  made  on  perfectly  dry  or 
water-free  substance. 

Ash  is  what  is  left  when  the  combustible  part  of  a  feeding 
stuff  is  burned  away  by  heating  to  faint  redness  in  a  current  of 
air  and  besides  a  little  charcoal  and  sand,  which  are  accidental 
impurities,  consists  chiefly  of  lime,  magnesia,  potash  and  soda, 
combined  with  chlorine  and  carbonic,  sulphuric  and  phosphoric 
acids. 

Protein  is  a  general  term  which  includes  all  those  nitrogenous 
materials  of  a  concentrated  feeding  stuff  which,  when  separated 


EXPLANATIONS   OF   ANALYSES    OF   FEEDING   STUFFS.  5 

in  a  pure  state,  bear  a  general  resemblance  in  composition  and 
properties  to  egg  albumin  (white  of  egg),  flesh  fibrin  (lean 
meat),  and  milk  casein  (curd).  It  is  from  this  protein  of  the 
food  alone  that  the  animal  can  make  albumin,  fibrin  and  casein. 
The  nitrogenous  materials  are  the  most  costly  and  by  far  the 
most  valuable  ingredients  of  concentrated  commercial  feeds, 
which  should  be  bought  chiefly  for  the  protein  which  is  in 
them. 

Nitrogen-free  Extract,  sometimes  called  Carbohydrates,  in- 
cludes starch,  gum,  sugar  and  pectin  bodies.  They  are  readily 
extracted  from  the  feeding  stuff  by  water  and  dilute  acid. 

Fiber  is  the  essential  constituent  of  the  walls  of  vegetable 
cells  and  is  seen  in  a  nearly  pure  state  in  cotton  fiber  or  paper 
pulp.  It  is  the  most  insoluble  part  of  the  vegetable  substance 
and  of  quite  subordinate  value  in  the  ration. 

Ether  Extract  includes  fat  oil,  solid  fat,  wax,  chlorophyl  (the 
green  coloring  matter  of  plants),  and  other  coloring  matters, 
in  brief  everything  which  can  be  extracted  from  the  perfectly 
dry  feeding  stuff  by  absolute  ether. 

Regarding  the  uses  of  the  above-named  parts  of  feeds : 

Water  and  ash  need  not  be  considered,  for,  while  indispensa- 
ble to  stock,  both  are  abundantly  supplied  in  other  ways  than 
in  commercial  feeds. 

Protein  may  easily  be  made  over  by  the  animal  into  its  own 
substance,  i.  e.,  into  muscles,  tendons  and  the  various  working 
tissues  and  membranes,  because  these  necessary  parts  of  the 
animal  machine  are  themselves  made  up  of  the  same  kind  of 
materials,  or,  chem.ically  speaking,  have  the  same  composition 
as  the  protein  bodies. 

Fiber  and  the  nitrogen-free  extract,  on  the  other  hand,  cannot 
serve  for  building  up  the  muscles  and  other  parts  of  the  growing 
animal  and  cannot  restore  the  waste  and  wear  of  those  parts  of 
mature  animals,  because  they  are  of  a  very  different  nature. 
They  contain  no  nitrogen,  an  element  which  enters  into  all  the 
animal  tissues  (proteins),  to  the  extent  of  some  sixteen  per 
cent,  of  their  dry  matter. 

Fiber  and  the  nitrogen-free  extract  cannot  restore  the  worn- 
out  muscles  or  membranes  of  the  animal  any  more  than  coal 
can  be  made  to  renew  the  used-up  packing,  bolts,  valves,  flues

and  gearing  of  a  steam-engine.  Proteins  are  to  the  ox  or  the 
man  what  brass  and  iron  are  to  the  machine,  the  materials  of 
construction  and  repair. 

Fat,  fiber  and  nitrogen-free  extract  are,  furthermore,  to  the 
animal  very  much  what  coal  and  fuel  are  to  the  steam-engine. 
Their  consumption  generates  the  power  which  runs  the  mechan- 
ism. Their  burning  (oxidation)  in  the  blood  of  animals  pro- 
duces the  results  of  life  just  as  the  combustion  of  coal  in  the 
fire-place  of  the  steam-engine  produces  the  motion  and  power 
of  that  machine.  For  this  combustion  in  the  system,  digestible 
fat  has  more  than  twice  the  value  of  digestible  nitrogen-free 
extract. 

There  is,  however,  this  difference  between  the  engine  and 
the  animal :  the  former  may  be  stopped  for  repairs ;  the  latter 
may  run  at  a  low  rate,  but  if  it  be  stopped  it  cannot  resume 
work.  Hence  the  repairs  of  the  animal  must  go  on  simulta- 
neously with  its  wastes.  Therefore,  the  material  of  which  it  is 
built  must  admit  of  constant  replacement,  and  the  dust  and 
shreds  of  its  wear  and  tear  must  admit  of  escape  without 
impeding  action.  The  animal  body  is  as  if  an  engine  were  fed 
not  only  with  coal  and  water,  but  with  iron,  brass  and  all  the 
materials  for  its  repair,  and  also  is  as  if  the  engine  consumed 
its  own  worn-out  parts,  voiding  them  as  ashes  or  as  gas  and 
smoke.  Proteids,  or  the  blood-  and  tissue-formers,  are  thus 
consumed  in  the  animal,  as  well  as  the  fat,  fiber  and  nitrogen- 
free  extract  or  fuel  proper.  The  fact  that  proteids  admit  of 
consumption  implies  that  when  the  proper  fuel  is  insufficient, 
they  may  themselves  serve  as  fuel.  Such  is  the  case,  in  fact. 
But,  nevertheless,  the  two  classes  of  substances  have  distinct 
offices  in  animal  nutrition,  and  experience  has  demonstrated  that 
for  each  special  case  of  animal  nutrition  a  special  ratio  of  digesti- 
ble proteids  to  digestible  fat,  fiber  and  nitrogen-free  extract  is 
the  best  and  most  economical,  and,  within  certain  limits,  is 
necessary. 

The  Uses  of  Analyses  of  Feeding  Stuffs. 
These  uses  are  several.     First,  by  an  analysis  compared  with 
the  average  of  others,  any  buyer  of  a  feed  can  see  whether  it  is 
of  the  usual  quality.     Thus  on  page  31,  the  analysis  of  cotton 


EXPLANATIONS   OF   ANALYSES   OF   FEEDING   STUFFS.  / 

seed  meal,  No.  10983,  compared  with  the  average  of  twenty-five 
analyses  given  on  the  same  page,  shows  that  its  quality  is  far 
below  average  as  regards  protein,  the  most  valuable  ingredient. 

Secondly,  by  an  analysis  compared  with  the  manufacturer's 
guaranty  the  buyer  can  see  whether  in  composition  the  feed 
meets  what  is  claimed  for  it.  Thus  on  page  43  the  analyses  of 
cream  gluten  show  that  the  feed  contained  on  the  average  about 
3  per  cent,  more  of  protein  than  was  called  for  by  the  manu- 
facturer's guaranty. 

Thirdly,  an  analysis  often  shows  clearly  whether  or  not  the 
feed  is  adulterated  and  may  indicate  also  the  form  of  adultera- 
tion. This  use  is  fully  illustrated  by  the  discussion  of  adul- 
terated wheat  feeds  on  page  12  of  this  report. 

It  also  makes  clear  the  composition  of  mixtures  which  are 
sold  under  names  which  either  convey  no  meaning  or  convey 
a  false  impression.  Thus  the  analysis  of  a  "ground  oil  cake 
compound"  given  on  page  59,  and  mentioned  on  page  23 
shows  that  instead  of  being  prepared  from  the  expressed  meal 
of  some  oil  seed,  like  linseed,  it  is  merely  ground  wheat  screen- 
ings consisting  largely  of  weed  seeds. 

Fourthly,  comparison  of  analyses  of  a  number  of  kinds  of  feed 
with  their  prices  will  greatly  help  in  deciding  whether  any  one 
of  them  is  worth  to  the  feeder  what  is  asked  for  it.  Too  often 
the  prices  of  feeds  bear  no  relation  to  their  real  feeding  value. 

Lastly,  the  chief  use  of  these  tables  by  feeders  should  be  as 
a  guide  to  the  skillful  compounding  of  rations  for  farm  ani- 
mals. How  this  is  done  cannot  be  briefly  explained  within  the 
limits  of  a  bulletin.  A  knowledge  of  the  principles  of  cattle 
feeding  is  essential,  which  should  be  gathered  by  studying  books 
which  treat  of  the  principles  of  cattle-feeding  and  of  the  art  of 
compounding  rations.

DISCUSSION   OF  THE  ANALYSES.* 
Cotton  Seed  Meal. 

Analyses  on  pages  30-31. 

The  average  percentage  of  protein  in  the  twenty-five  samples 
examined  is  lower  this  year  than  for  some  years  past,  being 
43.16. 

The  following  brands  fail  to  meet  the  manufacturers'  guar- 
antee by  more  than  0.7  per  cent,  of  protein : 

A.  B.  C.  brand,  Augusta  Brokerage  Co. ;  American  Cereal 
Co. ;  American  Cotton  Oil  Co.  (one  sample)  ;  R.  W.  Biggs 
Co.  (two  samples)  ;  Green  Diamond  brand  (two  samples)  ; 
Hayley  &  Hoskins,  Star  brand;  Sunflower  brand  (three 
samples). 

By  the  rules  of  the  Cotton  Seed  Crushers  Association,  "choice" 
meal  must  contain  at  least  8  per  cent,  of  ammonia,  equivalent 
to  41.19  per  cent,  of  protein,  and  "prime"  meal  must  contain 
at  least  8  per  cent,  of  ammonia,  or  if  from  the  South  Atlantic 
States  73^  per  cent,  of  ammonia,  equivalent  to  38.62  per  cent, 
of  protein.  By  this  standard  two  of  the  samples,  Hayley  &  Hos- 
kins' 10983,  and  Sunflower  brand,  sold  by  the  American  Cereal 
Co.,  1 1074,  were  neither  "choice"  nor  "prime"  meal.  Regard- 
ing sample  10983,  however,  Messrs.  Hayley  &  Hoskins  write  that 
at  the  time  of  sale  they  advised  the  buyer  that  it  was  the  last 
carload  of  old  season's  prime,  and  they  were  loath  to  make  the 
sale  as  it  had  lain  six  or  seven  months  in  warehouse  and  might 
show  deterioration. 

A  sample  of  Hayley  &  Hoskins'  prime  meal,  10063,  sent  for 
analysis  by  Meech  &  Stoddard  of  Middletown,  contained  42,62 
per  cent,  of  protein. 

The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat,  as  determined  at 
this  Station,  and  the  average  prices,  quoted  by  retailers,  at  the 
time  the  samples  were  drawn,  have  been  as  follows  for  the 
last  four  years : 


*  The  microscopic  work  in  connection  with  the  anal3'ses  reported  in  this 
paper  was  wholly  done  by  Mr.  Winton  ;  the  chemical  anal)^ses  were  made 
by  Messrs.  Ogden,  Silverman  and  Bailey  ;  the  results  were  prepared  for 
publication  by  the  director.

The  price  of  cotton  seed  meal  has  risen  in  the  last  five  years, 
and  the  average  percentage  of  protein  has  on  the  whole  declined. 

Linseed    Meal. 

Analyses  on  pages  32-33. 

"Linseed  Meal,"  "Oil  Meal,"  and  "Flax  Seed  Meal"  are 
trade  names  for  ground  flax  seed  from  which  more  or  less  of 
the  oil  has  been  removed.  By  the  "old  process"  the  oil  is 
partly  removed  by  pressure,  leaving,  however,  from  5  to  lo 
per  cent,  of  oil,  "fat,"  in  the  meal.  By  the  "new  process"  the 
oil  is  so  far  extracted  with  benzine  as  to  leave  less  than  two 
and  a  half  per  cent,  in  the  meal.  New  process  meal  is  more 
uniform  in  composition  and  contains  more  protein  than  old 
process  meal.  All  the  samples  of  each  kind  analyzed  this  year 
have  been  of  good  quality  and  unadulterated.  The  average 
percentages  of  protein  and  fat  found  in  linseed  meal  for  the  last 
four  years,  as  determined  at  this  Station,  with  the  average 
prices  at  the  time  the  samples  were  drawn,  as  quoted  by  retailers, 
are  as  follows :

Average  price $32.50  30.00  31.00  32.50  31.00  30.50  32.00  30.77 

Neither  of  the  samples  of  new  process  linseed  meal  met  the 
manufacturer's  guaranty,  in  respect  of  protein. 

Two  samples  of  old  process  meal,  from  the  Midland  Linseed 
Co.,  Minneapolis,  did  not  bear  the  statement  of  guaranty  which 
is  required  by  law. 

The  following  brands  did  not  contain  the  guaranteed  amounts 
of  protein :

Guarantees  of  from  35  to  38  per  cent,  of  protein  in  old  process 
meal  would  seem  unsafe  and  unreasonable,  for  this  article,  as 
found  in  our  market,  seldom  contains  as  much  as  35  per  cent, 
of  protein. 

Linseed  meal  can  usually  be  bought  in  car  lots  at  about  the 
same  price  as  cotton  seed  meal  and  at  this  writing  for  $2.00  per 
ton  less  than  cotton  seed  meal.  The  high  retail  price  usually 
quoted,  $31  to  $32,  is  because  of  the  small  demand  for  linseed, 
which  "moves  slowly"  in  the  retail  trade,  although  it  is  a 
concentrated,  palatable  and  safe  feed. 

Wheat   Products. 

These  are  by-products  in  the  manufacture  of  wheat  flour. 
Several  different  processes  of  milling  are  in  common  use,  yield- 
ing by-products  which  are  not  entirely  alike  in  composition. 
The  products  made  from  winter  wheat  also  differ  in  composi- 
tion from  those  from  spring  wheat. 

Wheat  Bran  consists  of  the  outer  layers  of  the  wheat  berry, 
which  are  dark  in  color  and  do  not  easily  pulverize. 

Wheat  Middlings,  as  found  in  the  feed  market,  consist  of 
inner  layers  of  the  covering  of  the  berry,  which  are  lighter  in 
color  and  more  easily  pulverized  than  bran,  and  of  other  parts 
from  which  fine  white  flour  cannot  be  made. 

Red  Dog  Flour  is  the  poorest  grade  of  flour ;  off  color  and 
often  sold  as  a  cattle  food. 

Many  mills  do  not  sell  bran  and  middlings  separately,  but 
run  them  together,  often  with  other  waste  wheat  products, 
and  sell  the  mixture  as  "Mixed  Feed." 

With  few  exceptions  the  samples  of  wheat  feed  described  in 
the  tables  of  analyses  were  not  accompanied,  as  is  required  by 
law,  with  any  statements  of  composition.

Analyses  on  pages  32-33. 

The  seven  samples  examined  are  all  genuine  with  no  evidence 
of  any  wilful  admixture  of  foreign  matter.  Fragments  or  the 
whole  grains  of  certain  weed  seeds  are  commonly  found  in  bran 
and  other  wheat  feeds.  These  are  things  which  screening  does 
not  perfectly  separate  from  the  wheat  and  which  therefore  come 
out  with  the  bran  in  the  milling  process. 

Samples  11 004,  10947,  and  11 038  contain  rather  larger 
amounts  of  this  foreign  matter  than  the  other  samples.  Sample 
11087  is  a  very  light-colored  bran,  quite  free  from  foreign 
matters,  but  made  from  soft  Canadian  wheat,  which  perhaps 
explains  its  unusual  composition.  The  protein  in  this  sample, 
12.81  per  cent.,  is  2.7  per  cent,  less  than  the  average  found  in 
the  six  other  samples  examined,  15.52  per  cent. 

The  average  amount  of  protein  found  this  year  in  winter  bran 
is  also  considerably  less  than  has  been  found  in  recent  years, 
as  appear  in  the  statement  on  page  13. 

Bran  from  Spring  Wheat. 
Analyses  on  pages  32-35. 

All  of  the  sixteen  samples  collected  are  unadulterated  and  of 
good  quality  though  containing  rather  less  protein  than  has  been 
found  in  other  recent  years. 

A  single  sample  of  spring  bran,  10863,  made  by  the  Porter 
Milling  Co.  and  sent  by  G.  M.  White  &  Co.  of  East  Hartford 
Meadow,  contains  15.37  per  cent,  of  protein. 

Middlings. 
Analyses  on  pages  34-37. 

The  samples,  with  few  exceptions,  are  of  fair  quality.  Sample 
10961,  from  the  Randall  Mill  Co.,  Tekonsha,  Mich.,  contains  no 
excessive  quantity  of  foreign  matter,  but  has  only  12.62  per  cent, 
of  protein,  a  very  low  per  cent,  of  fiber  and  seven  per  cent,  more 
of  starchy  matter  than  the  average. 

Sample  11 136,  Colonial  Middlings,  made  by  the  Miner-Hillard 
Mill  Co.,  Wilkesbarre,  Pa.,  is  not  a  pure  wheat  middlings  but  a 
mixture  of  wheat  and  corn  products  containing  3^  per  cent, 
less  of  protein  and  0.7  per  cent,  more  of  fat  than  pure  wheat

middlings  and  sold  apparently  for  $1.50  per  ton  more  than  the 
latter.  The  guaranteed  percentage  of  protein  is  13.56,  which  is 
fully  met  by  the  analysis.  The  amount  of  fat  found,  5.73  per 
cent.,  is  a  per  cent,  less  than  is  guaranteed.  Both  the  samples 
above  named  are  excluded  from  the  average  given  in  the  tables. 
The  average  percentage  of  protein  found  this  year  in  the 
winter  and  spring  middlings  is  considerably  less  than  it  has 
been  in  recent  years. 

Mixed  Feed  from  Winter  Wheat. 

Analyses  on  pages  36-41. 

Most  of  the  thirty-eight  samples  examined  are  of  fair  quality. 
Sample  11012  contains  some  traces  of  corn  cob,  and  11127,  a 
small  amount  of  cracked  corn,  but  not  enough  to  seriously  affect 
the  chemical  composition. 

No.  11063.  The  Ideal  Mixed  Feed,  made  by  Charles  R.  Lull 
of  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  contains  many  oat  hulls  or  oats  which 
reduce  the  percentage  of  protein  to  1.7  per  cent,  below  the  aver- 
age for  mixed  feed  and  raise  the  percentage  of  woody  fiber  by 
4.3  per  cent.  This  article  is  guaranteed  to  contain  17.6  per  cent, 
of  protein  and  3.0  per  cent,  of  fat.  It  contains  less  protein  than 
is  guaranteed  by  2.6  per  cent.  On  account  of  these  facts  this 
analysis  is  excluded  from  the  average.  The  average  composi- 
tion shows  less  protein  than  the  averages  of  previous  years. 

Spurious  Mixed  Feed. 

Among  the  unclassified  mixed  feeds  are  two  which,  while 
bearing  the  name  mixed  feed,  are  not  mixed  feed  in  the  sense 
in  which  the  term  is  generally  used  in  the  feed  trade,  but  are 
mixtures  of  wheat  feed  and  corn  cobs,  a  material  greatly  inferior 
to  wheat  bran  in  feeding  value.  One  of  them  is  sold  above 
the  average  price  of  genuine  mixed  wheat  feed,  the  other  for 
$1.50  per  ton  below  it. 

One  of  them,  11029,  Blue  Grass  Mixed  Feed,  comes  from 
Henderson,  Kentucky,  which  seems  to  be  the  home  of  this  kind 
of  material;  the  other,  11237,  is  sold  by  Balch  &  Piatt,  of 
Winsted,  who  state  that  they  are  unable  to  say  from  whom  they 
bought  the  feed.

Mixed  Feed  from  Spring  Wheat. 

Analyses  on  pages  40-43. 

All  of  the  eighteen  samples  mentioned  in  the  table  are  pure, 
though  two  of  them,  Nos.  11048  and  11256,  contain  an  undue 
proportion  of  weed  seeds  or  fragments  of  them.  The  average 
percentage  of  protein  is  lower  than  it  has  been  for  the  three  years 
preceding. 

A  sample  of  Diamond  Mixed  Feed,  11288,  made  by  Annan, 
Burgh  &  Co.,  St  Louis,  sent  by  G.  M.  White  &  Co.,  East  Hart- 
ford Meadow,  contained  17.38  per  cent,  of  protein.

This  table  indicates  that: 

1.  The  spring  wheat  products,  as  a  rule,  have  somewhat  higher 
percentages,  both  of  protein  and  fat,  than  the  winter  wheat 
products. 

2.  This  difference  is  rather  more  pronounced  and  constant  in 
the  case  of  middlings  than  in  that  of  either  bran  or  mixed 
feed. 

3.  The  percentages  of  protein  in  bran  are  rather  lower  than  in 
either  middlings  or  mixed  feed. 

4.  On  the  average  the  winter  wheat  products  sell  at  a  slightly 
-  higher  price  than  the  spring  wheat  products  in  spite  of  the 

higher  protein  and  fat  content  of  the  latter. 

5.  The  percentages  of  protein  in  all  the  wheat  feeds  have  been 
considerably  lower  in  1903  than  in  either  of  the  three  years 
immediately  preceding.  The  prices  have,  however,  ruled 
higher. 

Guaranties  of  Wheat  Feeds. 

The  law  requires  that  wheat  feeds  shall  be  sold  with  a 
guaranty  of  composition. 

Of  the  one  hundred  and  twenty-one  samples  examined,  only 
eight  had  a  guaranty  that  could  be  found  by  our  agent. 

The  American  Cereal  Co.  and  the  Brooks  Elevator  Co.  are 
the  only  manufacturers  of  genuine  mixed  wheat  feed  which, 
as  far  as  we  can  learn,  have  offered  guaranties. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  mixtures  which  are  not  genuine  mixed 
wheat  feed  but  resemble  it  in  appearance,  are  sold  at  about  the 
same  price  and  are  called  "mixed  feeds,"  have  a  guaranteed 
composition. 

It  has  been  urged  that  wheat  feeds  are  staple  articles,  uniform 
in  composition  and  not  adulterated  and  therefore  that  no  guar- 
anty was  needed.  But  our  analyses  show  that  these  feeds  vary 
decidedly  in  composition  from  year  to  year  and  that  there  is  more 
fraud  in  the  sale  of  mixed  feed  than  we  have  found  in  the  sale 
of  any  other  feed  on  the  market.  If  the  buyer  can  get  no 
guaranty  that  his  wheat  feeds  are  of  standard  quality  and  if  they 
are  commonly  adulterated,  he  must  drop  them  for  the  gluten 
feeds  and  dried  brewers  and  distillers  grains,  which  are  more 
constant  in  composition  and  with  which  a  guaranty  is  given.

Corn  Products. 

Maize  Meal  and  Maize  Bran. 

Analyses  on  pages  42-43. 

The  three  analyses  of  meal  show  lower  percentages  of  both 

protein  and  fat  than  the  average  of  forty-eight  analyses  made 

a  year  ago.     This  is  to  be  explained,  probably,  by  the  poor 

quality  of  the  1902  crop. 

Gluten  Meal. 
Analyses  on  pages  42-43. 
A  single  brand  only  of  gluten  meal  was  found  in  the  State 
this  year,  viz :   Cream  Gluten,  made  by  the  Illinois  Sugar  Refin- 
ing Co.  of  Chicago. 

The  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  in  the  three  samples 
examined  were  well  above  the  guaranty. 

Gluten  Feed. 
Analyses  on  pages  42-47. 

Fourteen  samples  of  Buffalo  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  Glu- 
cose Sugar  Refining  Co.  of  Chicago,  contains  an  average  of 
24.21  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.15  of  fat. 

The  guaranty  calls  for  27.5  to  28.0  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
3.0  of  fat. 

The  guaranty  of  Chicago  gluten  is  stated  to  refer  to  the 
water-free  meal.  To  the  feeder  it  is  of  no  great  importance  to 
know  what  the  feed  would  contain  if  there  were  no  moisture  in 
it,  but  it  is  of  great  importance  to  know  what  it  contains  as  he 
finds  it  in  market.  There  is  no  good  reason  why  this  infor- 
mation should  not  be  given  in  the  guaranty.  A  guaranty  which 
does  not  give  it  is  of  no  practical  use  to  the  purchaser. 

A  guaranty  of  27.5  per  cent,  of  protein  in  the  dry  matter 
would  be  equivalent  to  24.8  per  cent,  of  protein  in  goods  with 
the  average  percentage  of  moisture  in  them.  With  this  reduc- 
tion, the  protein  in  the  samples  examined  is  only  0.6  per  cent, 
below  guaranty.  The  writer  has  been  verbally  informed  by 
a  representative  of  the  Commercial  Products  Co.,  that  probably 
because  of  the  greater  amount  of  white  corn  in  market  this  year 
and  therefore  necessarily  used  in  their  works,  the  percentage 
of  protein  in  the  feed  has  fallen  unexpectedly.     Five  brands 


1 6         CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    1 45. 

of  gluten  feed,  other  than  the  Buffalo,  have  been  analyzed  and 
the  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  in  every  brand  are 
very  considerably  less  than  the  respective  guaranties. 

No.  1 1 150  K.  K.  Gluten  Feed  contains  much  less  protein  than 
is  guaranteed.  Another  sample,  sent  soon  after  this  sample  was 
drawn,  by  R.  G.  Davis,  New  Haven,  No.  11273,  contained  23.69 
per  cent,  of  protein,  2.47  per  cent,  of  fat. 

A  representative  of  J.  E.  Hubinger  Bros.  &  Co.,  the  manufac- 
turers, stated  that  both  samples  were  from  the  very  first  run  of 
the  new  factory  and  he  brought  three  samples  stated  to  have 
been  sampled  by  R.  G.  Davis  from  subsequent  shipments. 

The  analyses  of  these  three  samples  follow :

Four  Other  samples  of  gluten  products  were  sent  by  individ- 
uals, as  follows : — 

10151.  "Gluten  Meal,"  sent  by  C.  H.  Williams,  Burnside, 
with  the  statement  that  it  had  injured  stock  which  ate  it.  It 
contained  27.37  per  cent,  of  protein  but  no  poisonous  substance 
was  found.     It  is  not  gluten  meal  of  average  quality. 

I055S-  Globe  Gluten  Feed,  sent  by  Chapin  &  Co.,  from  car 
shipped  to  I.  W.  Beers,  Hamden,  contained  24.00  per  cent,  of 
protein. 

10271.  Gluten  Feed,  manufacturer  unknown,  sent  by  G.  W. 
Strant,  South  Manchester,  contained  23.69  per  cent,  of  protein. 

1 1 190.  Sent  by  Andrew  Kingsbury,  R.  D.  Rockville,  who 
stiates  that  it  is  sold  by  Rockville  Milling  Co.  for  $26.00  per  ton ; 
bought  for  "Chicago  Gluten  Meal."  The  sample  contained 
23.00  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.69  per  cent,  of  fat ; — less  protein 
than  the  standard  gluten  feeds  and  far  less  than  gluten  meal. 
It  is  certainly  not  gluten  meal.  The  factory  where  Chicago  glu- 
ten meal  was  made  was  burned  two  years  ago,  and  has  not  been 
replaced.

Analyses  on  pages  46-49. 

/  Of  the  twenty-seven  samples  examined,  three  are  very  inferior 
as  shown  by  analysis.  No.  11050,  Star  Hominy  Meal,  made  by 
the  Toledo  Elevator  Co.,  and  sold  by  W.  T.  Reynolds,  Pough- 
keepsie,  contains  an  excess  of  corn  cob.  Nos.  11 106,  Star 
Hominy  Chop  and  11 171,  Mixed  Hominy  Chop, — both  made  by 
the  Miner-Hillard  Mill  Co.  of  Wilkesbarre,  are  mixtures  of  corn 
and  oat  productis.  These  three  analyses  are  therefore  excluded 
from  the  average. 

Guaranties. 

The  law  requires  that  hominy  meal  or  chop  shall  be  sold  with 
a  guaranty  of  composition. 

Twelve  of  the  twenty-seven  samples  examined  were  thus  sold. 
The  names  of  these  brands,  with  their  guaranties  and  composi- 
tion as  determined  here,  are  a's  follows :

good  deal  lower  than  the  guaranteed  percentages. 

As  in  the  case  of  most  of  the  feeds  already  discussed,  hominy 
meal  contains  much  less  protein  and  fat  this  year  than  was 
found  last  year.     The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat 
for  a  number  of  years  have  been  as  follows : —

A  ton  of  mixed  wheat  feed  contains  two  hundred  and  sixty-

digestible  fat.  A  ton  of  hominy  feed  contains  one  hundred  and 
forty-two  pounds  of  digestible  protein  and  one  hundred  and 
forty-four  pounds  of  digestible  fat,  but  cost  seventy-three  cents  a 
ton  more  than  wheat  feed.  Yet  it  has  a  large  sale  in  this 
state  among  dairymen  who  are  trying  to  make  the  business 
pay! 

A  considerable  number  of  samples  of  hominy  meal  have  been 
sent  in  by  individuals  for  analysis  as  follows : — 

10064.  Bought  from  Coles  &  Co.,  Middletown,  for  $25.00 
per  ton  and  sent  by  H.  B.  Cornwall  of  Portland.  It  contains 
10.37  P^r  cent,  of  protein  and  is  therefore  of  good  quality. 

10065.  Bought  from  Herman  L.  Buss,  Boston,  for  $21.80 
per  ton  in  car  lots  of  twenty  tons,  by  H.  B.  Cornwall,  Portland. 
It  contains  10.19  P^^  cent,  of  protein  and  is  of  fair  quality. 

10067.  Sent  by  Mrs.  I.  F.  Barnard,  North  Haven,  who  states 
that  it  was  bought  for  white  hominy  meal  of  the  Cooperative 
Feed  Co.,  North  Haven,and  that  one  horse  nearly  died  of  colic 
after  eating  it  and  others  refused  to  eat  it.  The  sample  contains 
more  protein  than  hominy  meal  contains,  13.31  per  cent.,  but 
nothing  was  found  to  explain  the  injurious  effects  noted  above. 

10544.  Sent  by  Joseph  Delehanty,  Southington,  stated  to  be 
Niagara  White  Meal  from  Chapin  &  Co.,  contains  10.87  P^^  cent, 
of  protein  and  7.65  per  cent,  of  fat. 

Two  samples  of  Star  Hominy,  made  By  the  Toledo  Elevator 
Co.,  Toledo,  Ohio,  and  sold  through  W.  T.  Reynolds  &  Co., 
Poughkeepsie,  were  received  for  analysis. 

II 206  was  sent  by  J.  H.  Crowley,  Canton  Center,  who  states 
that  he  bought  it  of  the  Collinsville  Grain  Co.,  who  stated  to  him 
that  it  came  from  F.  W.  Konold  of  Collinsville. 

11214  was  sent  by  L.  M.  Bristol,  Canton  Center,  who  states 
that  it  was  bought  of  F.  W.  Konold.  Mr.  Konold  advises  us

statement  of  composition  of  11.40  per  cent,  of  protein  and  7.31

free  from  adulteration  and  of  the  usual  composition. 

Malt  Sprouts,  Barley  Sprouts. 

Analyses  on  pages  50-51. 

Four  samples  are  represented  in  the  table.  Three  are  of  good 
quality  and  have  the  usual  composition.  One  of  them,  11165, 
from  Hollister,  Chase  &.Co.  of  New  York,  sold  by  Scofield  & 
Miller  of  Stamford,  is  distinctly  inferior,  containing  only  half 
the  usual  percentage  of  protein.  It  is  alsQ  a  dirty  product,  as 
appears  from  the  high  percentage  of  ash  and  also  from  micro- 
scopic examination. 

It  is  therefore  excluded  from  the  average. 

Distillers  Grains. 

Analyses  on  pages  50-51. 
Three  of  the  samples  represented  in  the  table  are  sold  under 
the  name  of  Ajax  Flakes  ("Manhattan  Gluten")  by  Chapin  & 
Co.,  Boston.  With  these  is  included  one  sample  of  Hall's 
AAAA  Distillers  Grains  having  similar  composition.  All  of 
them  are  corn  products,  a  dried  residue  from  the  manufacture 
of  alcohol.  Two  samples  of  the  Ajax  Flakes  and  the  sample  of 
Hall's  Distillers  Grains  are  below  their  guaranteed  composition. 

Oat  Products. 
Ground  Oats. 

Analyses  on  pages  50-51. 
The  two  samples  of  ground  oats  examined  are  of  average 
quality  and  free  from  adulteration. 

The  price  is,  however,  prohibitive  for  use  as  a  dairy  food.

These  oat  feeds  cost  from  $i6  to  $23  per  ton,  an  average 
of  about  $19.50.  Taking  the  average  composition  of  the  five 
brands,  it  appears  that  a  ton  of  oat  feed,  such  as  is  now  offered 
and  sold  in  Connecticut  in  large  quantity,  contains  the  amounts 
of  food  ingredients  given  below. 

There  is  also  given,  for  comparison,  the  amounts  of  food

Dollar  for  dollar,  the  feeder  gets  nearly  twice  as  much  pro-

his  home-grown  feeds — in  wheat  feed,  a  standard  article,  than 
he  gets  in  oat  feed,  the  refuse  from  oat  meal  factories.  Yet  a 
great  deal  of  oat  feed  is  sold  in  the  state  and  dairying — with 
some  farmers — "doesn't  pay."

Analyses  on  pages  54-55. 

Consists  chiefly  of  malt  sprouts,  brewers  grains  and  molasses 
and  contains  much  less  protein  than  is  guaranteed. 

The  prices  of  these  ready  mixed  feeds,  ranging  from  $20  to 
$30  per  ton,  are  quite  out  of  proportion  to  their  feeding  value.

The  vegetable  feeds  are  mixtures  of  corn,  oat  and  wheat  pro- 
ducts ;  linseed  meal,  cotton  seed  meal  and  peanuts  are  found 
in  some  of  them. 


22      connecticut  experiment  station,  bulletin  1 45. 
Proprietary  Dairy  and  Stock  Feeds. 

Analyses  on  pages  56-59. 

Here  are  included  eight  brands  of  mixed  feeds.  Dickinson's 
Stock  Feed,  Haskill's  Stock  Feed,  Lenox  Stock  Feed  and 
Blatchford's  Calf  Meal  do  not  fully  meet  the  guaranties  of  the 
manufacturers. 

The  Quaker  Dairy  Feed,  made  by  the  American  Cereal  Co., 
consists  of  a  mixture  of  wheat,  oat  and  corn  products  and  cotton 
seed  meal,  containing  14.4  per  cent,  of  protein  and  more  than  the 
guaranteed  amount. 

The  Buffalo  Cereal  Co.'s  Dairy  Feed  is  a  mixture  consisting 
chiefly  of  oat  and  corn  products  with  some  wheat  product  and 
contains  more  than  the  guaranteed  amount  of  protein. 

The  Creamery  Feed  of  the  same  company  is  stated  by  a 
representative  of  the  company  to  be  a  mixture  of  cotton  seed, 
hominy,  gluten,  corn,  oats  and  linseed.  This  brand  contains 
20  per  cent,  of  protein  as  guaranteed. 

The  H.  O.  Dairy  Feed  consists  of  oat,  wheat  and  corn"  pro- 
ducts, with  some  cotton  seed  meal  and  peanuts. 

Blatchford's  Calf  Meal  contains  a  wheat  product,  linseed  meal, 
cotton  seed  meal,  carob  beans,  common  beans  and  fenugreek. 

Dickinson's,  Haskill's  and  Lenox  Stock  Feed  consist  wholly 
of  corn  and  oats  and  contains  less  protein  than  either  corn  or 
oats  of  good  quality. 

The  most  concentrated  of  these  mixtures  contains  24.6  per 
cent,  of  protein  and  the  others  range  between  20.06  and  7.81 
per  cent,  of  protein.  The  prices  range  from  $21.00  to  $70.00 
per  ton,  or  excluding  Blatchford's  Calf  Meal  from  $21  to  $28.00 
per  ton. 

A  mixture  of  1000  pounds  of  gluten  feed  and  1000  pounds 
of  mixed  wheat  feed  made  at  home  would  cost  at  present  retail 
prices  $24.76.  It  would  contain  a  good  deal  more  protein  than 
could  be  bought  for  the  same  money  in  any  of  these  factory- 
mixed  feeds  and  would  have  a  higher  feeding  value.  It  would 
also  have  this  added  advantage,  that  the  feeder  would  know 
exactly  what  his  animals  were  eating. 

In  other  words,  the  cost  of  most  of  these  factory-mixed  feeds 
is  quite  out  of  proportion  to  their  feeding  value. 


digestibility  of  feeding  stuffs.  23 

Buckwheat  Middlings. 

A  single  sample,  made  at  the  Quinnebaug  Mills,  Danielson, 
contains  29.06  per  cent,  of  protein  and  sells  for  $22.00  per  ton. 

"Ground  Oil  Cake  Compound." 
"Gee's  Ground  Oil  Cake"  is  not  ground  oil  cake.     It  consists 
largely  of  wheat  and  weed  seeds  (black  bindweed,  foxtail,  char- 
lock, linseed),  refuse  from  the  screening  of  wheat. 

Condimental  or  Medicinal  Cattle  Foods. 

Two  samples  have  been  examined.  9909,  Sheriden's  Condi- 
tion Powders,  sent  by  F.  B.  Munson  of  North  Haven,  contains 
linseed  meal,  charcoal,  epsom  salts,  carbonate  of  lime,  red  pepper, 
ginger,  sulphur  and  probably  other  constituents. 

10152.  Pepto  Stock  Food,  made  by  the  Banner  Food  Co., 
Auburn,  N.  Y.,  contains  23.62  per  cent,  of  protein,  being  a  mix- 
ture of  linseed  meal,  wheat  middlings,  charcoal,  fenugreek 
and  salt. 

THE  DIGESTIBILITY  OF  FEEDING  STUFFS. 

A  certain  part  of  every  feeding  stuff  is  indigestible  and 
passes  through  the  body  into  the  dung  without  doing  anything 
to  sustain  the  animal.  The  value  of  a  commercial  feed  rests 
wholly  in  that  portion  of  it  which  the  animal  can,  under  favor- 
able conditions,  digest  or  appropriate  and  make  a  part  of  itself. 
Some  animals  have  greater  power  of  digestion  than  others,  and 
the  amount  of  any  ingredient,  protein,  fat  or  fiber,  digested  by 
a  given  animal  depends  much  on  the  proportion  of  other  ingre- 
dients which  are  fed  along  with  it.  Thus,  if  starchy  matter  is 
fed  in  too  large  proportion,  a  considerable  part  of  it  will  pass 
into  the  dung  and  be  wasted.  But  fed  in  proper  fashion  over 
90  per  cent,  of  it  may  be  taken  up  by  the  body  and  nourish  it. 

Table  I  gives  the  "digestion  coefficients"  of  most  of  the 
feeds  mentioned  in  Table  IV. 

The  digestion  coefficient  of  protein,  for  example,  in  cotton 
seed  .meal  is  88.  This  means  that  in  a  properly  made  ration, 
neat  cattle,  in  good  health,  may  be  expected,  on  the  average,  to 
digest  about  88  parts  out  of  every  100  parts  of  the  protein  of 
cotton   seed  meal   of  good  quality.     The  table   has   no  great 


24         CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT   STATION^   BULLETIN    I45. 

mathematical  precision,  but  is,  nevertheless,  a  valuable  general 
guide  in  feeding. 

The  use  of  the  table  is  quite  simple.  Suppose  analysis  shows 
a  certain  sample  of  cotton  seed  meal  to  contain  43.5  per  cent, 
of  protein ;  that  is,  43,5  pounds  of  protein  in  100  pounds  of  the 
meal.  It  is  desired  to  know  how  much  digestible  protein  is 
contained  in  100  pounds  of  meal.  The  table  of  "digestion 
coefficients"  shows  that  of  every  100  pounds  of  crude  protein 
in  cotton  seed  meal  88  pounds  are  digestible.  It  follows  by  the 
rule  of  three  (100  is  to  88  as  43.5  is  to  38.28),  that  of  the  43.5 
pounds  of  protein  38.28  pounds  are  digestible.  To  apply  the 
table,  multiply  the  percentage  found  on  analysis  by  the  proper 
coefficient  taken  from  the  table  and  divide  the  product  by  100. 
The  result  will  be  the  percentage  amount  of  digestible  protein, 
fiber,  etc.,  as  the  case  may  be. 

In  Table  IV,  under  the  averages  of  analyses,  will  be  found 
calculated  the  average  digestible  nutrients  contained  in  the  dif- 
ferent feeding  stuffs,  so  far  as  the  data  at  hand  permit.

THE    PURCHASE    OF    COMMERCIAL   FEEDING   STUFFS.  25 

REGARDING  THE  PURCHASE  OF  COMMERCIAL 
FEEDING-STUFFS. 

It  needs  to  be  constantly  borne  in  mind  that  feeding-stuffs 
are  bought  to  supply  a  deficiency  of  protein  in  those  which  are 
usually  raised  on  the  farm. 

Hay,  corn  fodder,  ensilage  and  stover  form  the  basis  and 
make  up  the  bulk  of  the  cattle  food  and  should  supply  all  the 
coarse  feed,  as  well  as  most  of  the  starch,  sugar  and  fat  which 
are  needed. 

They  are,  however,  deficient  in  protein.  The  feeder's  aim 
then  is,  or  should  be,  to  buy  digestible  protein  at  as  low  a  price 
as  he  can,  in  forms  relished  by  his  stock.  He  is  not  in  the 
market  to  buy  mixtures  of  cattle  medicine  and  food,  nor  starchy 
foods,  nor  woody  fiber,  nor  the  many  wastes  of  factories,  where 
so-called  "breakfast  goods"   for  human  use  are  made. 

It  will  very  rarely  pay  him  to  buy  anything  which  contains 
as  little  protein  as  corn  meal.  Corn  meal  he  can  generally  raise 
much  more  cheaply  than  he  can  buy  it — and  corn  meal  fed  with 
hay  or  ensilage  needs  the  addition  of  some  feed  richer  in  pro- 
tein, in  order  to  avoid  waste  of  starchy  matter  in  feeding. 

Table  II  is  a  list  of  the  commercial  feeding-stuffs  mentioned 
in  this  Bulletin,  which  are  used  in  feeding  cows,  with  the  per- 
centages of  protein  and  fat  in  these  feeds,  and  their  average 
prices,  arranged  according  to  the  per  cent,  of  protein,  the  ingre- 
dient with  which  the  buyer  is  chiefly  concerned.  The  table  is  a 
practical  summary  of  the  analyses  to  be  given  in  Table  IV  and 
deserves  careful  study. 

In  thife  table  the  average  price  given  with  the  average  com- 
position of  each  feed  is  not  in  most  cases  the  average  of  the 
prices  quoted  by  dealers,  as  these  do  not  in  all  cases  represent 
ruling  market  rates.  The  average  price  per  ton  given  in  Table 
II  is  calculated  from  the  market  quotations  of  the  week  ending 
January  24th,  1904 — for  such  articles  as  are  quoted  in  the  mar- 
ket reports-^by  adding  in  each  case  $2.00,  which  represents  the 
average  difference  between  ton  and  car-lot  prices. 

This  therefore,  quite  accurately  represents  the  condition  of 
the  feed  market  at  the  date  named  and  affords  a  better  basis 
for  comparing  the  prices  of  feeds  than  an  average  of  retailers' 
4

quotations  made  at  various  dates  extending  over  four  months' 
time. 

The  table  shows  that  we  have  six  distinct  groups  of  feeding- 
stuffs  : 

1 .  Cotton  seed  meal  with  over  40  per  cent,  of  protein  and.costing 
$28.50  per  ton  on  the  average. 

2.  Linseed  and  gluten  meal  and  dried  distillers  grains  containing 
between  30  and  40  per  cent,  of  protein,  the  prices  ranging 
from  $25.75  to  $32.00  per  ton. 

3.  Most  of  the  gluten  feeds,  malt  sprouts,  buckwheat  middlings 
and  Buffalo  Cereal  Co.'s  Creamery  Feed,  containing  from  20 
to  30  per  cent,  of  protein,  prices  ranging  from  $20.00  to 
$27.50  per  ton. 

4.  The  wheat  feeds,  H.  O.  Dairy  Feed,  and  rye  feed,  having 
between  15  and  20  per  cent,  of  protein  and  costing  from 
$21.25  to  $28.00  per  ton. 

5.  Lower  grade  feeds,  containing  from  14.5  to  10  per  cent,  of 
protein,  which  the  feeder  of  dairy  stock  need  not  consider  at 
all  in  buying  protein  to  balance  a  ration  made  up  of  home- 
grown fodder,  if  he  has  home-grown  shelled  corn  at  his 
disposal.     The  prices  range  from  $23.75  to  $26.00  per  ton. 

6.  Oat  refuse  and  mixtures  of  corn  and  oat  refuse,  containing 
even  less  than  10  per  cent,  of  protein  but  costing  from  $14.50 
to  $26.00  per  ton.

It  will  also  be  noticed  that  the  percentages  of  fat  in  these 
feeds  are  not  very  unlike.  If  we  except  cotton  seed  meal,  old 
process  linseed  meal,  dried  distillers  grains,  buckwheat  middlings 
and  hominy  feed,  the  percentages  of  fat  all  fall  between  i,6  and 

It  is  therefore  possible  to  make  a  rough  comparison  of  the 
feeds  taking  account  of  protein  alone,  as  that  is  the  ingredient 
which  the  feeder  is  chiefly  concerned  in  getting  in  commercial 
feeds.     Such  a  comparison  shows  the  following : —  "

The  above  is  a  rough  but  fair  statement  of  the  comparative 
cost  of  protein  in  these  various  feeds.  No  consideration  is 
given  to  the  amounts  of  starch,  sugar  and  fiber  contained  in 
them.  These  last  have  a  necessary  part  in  the  ration,  but  they  are 
not  things  which  the  average  dairyman  can  at  all  afford  to  buy, 
except  incidentally,  in  feeds  costing  $20  or  more  per  ton.  They 
are  things  which  he  can  raise  cheaply  and  abundantly  on  his 
own  farm  and  must  raise  rather  than  buy  them  to  succeed  in 
his  business.  They  come  from  the  air  and  from  the  water  of  the 
soil  and  air  and  do  not  exhaust  the  fertility  of  his  land.  Protein, 
on  the  other  hand,  is  not  so  easily  and  abundantly  produced  in 
his  crops,  in  concentrated  forms,  it  takes  from  the  land  the  most 
expensive  and  least  abundant  element  of  plant  food,  and  its 
purchase  brings  to  the  farm  not  only  the  element  needed  to 
balance  the  home-grown  feeds  in  the  ration,  but  also  the  element 
which,  as  a  rule,  his  land  most  lacks. 

The  table  shows  that  in  feeds  containing  15  or  more  per  cent, 
of  protein  he  buys  the  latter  at  prices  ranging  from  66  cents 
to  $1.75  per  "unit,"  i.  e.  twenty  pounds.  In  the  feeds  having 
less  than  15  per  cent,  of  protein  he  pays  from  $1.50  to  $3.25  for 
protein  and  gets  it  in  a  form  in  which  it  cannot  be  fed  as  econom- 
ically.    That   large   quantities   of   these   low    grade   feeds   are 


WEIGHT   OF   ONE   QUART   OF   VARIOUS    FEEDS.  29 

bought  and  used  in  Connecticut  shows,  of  itself,  that  money  is 
lost  in  the  dairy  business  which  could  be  saved  by  a  little  study 
of  the  way  to  use  commercial  feeding  stuffs. 

THE  WEIGHT  OF  ONE  QUART  OF  VARIOUS  FEED- 
ING-STUFFS. 

The  following  table  gives  the  weight  of  one  quart  of  the  feeds 
named,  and  is  useful  to  calculate  the  weight  of  grain  ration 
fed,  from  the  measure  which  is  almost  universally  used  on 
farms.
